Hello, My name is Sharris Bridges, I’m the owner of a 2013 Chevrolet Camaro. I currently can’t defrost my car and can’t see the road because I have no heat. The Chevrolet Camaro has a issue with the blend door (temperature control door). It’s a piece of plastic that breaks which causes you not to have any heat. I was told by the dealership I would’ve to get the dash and windshield taken out just to get the blend door fixed. The bill they showed me was $20+ (majority in labor) for a issue that plenty people are having with the Camaro. This should be a recall! I’ve no heat, I can’t defrost my car, and more. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K0jajaoc-ro https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s0gakV_mGiY https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Py-2ukNVAGs https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tL3CaKzVKm4 Consumer stated they’ll need to take out the windshield and dash to get to the area which needs fixing.

MY RADIO TURNS ON AND OFF-VERY DISTRACTING TO MY DRIVING AND MAKES A LOUD POPPING SOUND FROM SPEAKERS-WHICH IS STARTLING. ALONG WITH THIS MY DEFROST TURNS ON AND OFF WHICH SOMETIMES LIMITS MY VISIBILITY. THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE CAR IS PARKED AND WHILE DRIVING INTERMITTENTLY. IT HAPPENS ABOUT 20 TIMES WHILE DRIVING A SHORT DISTANCE OF ABOUT 10 MILES. IT ALSO HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE.

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS I HAVE BEEN BLINDED BY THE SUN BECAUSE OF THE USELESSNESS OF THE SMALL SUNVISOR. THIS HAS OCCURRED BOTH WITH FRONT VISIBILITY OR TRYING TO SHIELD EYES FROM THE SIDE WINDOW. MY PASSENGERS HAVE ALSO BEEN EFFECTED THE SAME WAY. THE VISORS ARE NOT DEEP OR LONG ENOUGH RESPECTIVELY TO BE OF ANY VALUE. THIS CONCERN IS MORE SEVERE WHEN EXPRESS WAY DRIVING OR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, WHICH I HAVE RECENTLY ENCOUNTERED AND PROMPTED THIS REPORTING.

6 MONTHS AGO MY INFOTAINMENT SCREEN STARTED FLASHING AND THE CD WOULD OCCASIONALLY POP OUT OF THE PLAYER ON ITS OWN. THE MUSIC WOULD TURN ITSELF OFF THEN COME BACK ON, STARTLING ME AS IT WOULD BE ACCOMPANIED BY A LOUD STATIC OR POPPING SOUND. IT STARTED OFF INTERMITTENTLY, THEN THE SCREEN WENT COMPLETELY BLACK AND THE MUSIC STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY EXCEPT FOR THE CONSTANT BUZZING/STATIC SOUND ACCOMPANIED BY CLICKING AS THOUGH SOMETHING IS TRYING TO TURN ON. THE SCREEN AND THE MUSIC OCCASIONALLY MAKE A SURPRISING APPEARANCE, USUALLY AFTER I'VE COME TO A STOP, ROLLED MY WINDOW DOWN OR USED THE TURN SIGNAL. WHICH BRINGS ME TO THE NEXT THING, THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM. TO THIS DAY IT COMES ON AND OFF AT ITS LEISURE, INCLUDING THE FRONT AND REAR WINDOW DEFROST. MY BLINKERS NO LONGER MAKE THE SOUND TO ALERT ME THAT THEY ARE ON. ON A FEW OCCASIONS MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW HAS FAILED TO OPERATE. I ASSUME ONE DAY THAT WILL BE ALSO BE INOPERATIVE BASED ON PREVIOUS TRENDS. I CANCELLED MY SUBSCRIPTION TO ONSTAR SINCE I HAVE NO ACCESS TO THE FEATURES ANY LONGER. THIS MEANS I NO LONGER HAVE NAVIGATION, ACCESS TO EMERGENCY SERVICES, HANDS FREE CALLING OR EVEN ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. I NO LONGER HAVE THE ABILITY TO REMOTE ACCESS MY VEHICLE WHICH WAS ONE OF THE MAIN SELLING POINTS. NOW PLEASE IMAGINE TAKING AN UNCOMFORTABLY SILENT RIDE WITH ME AND THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN A CD THAT WASN'T PLAYING POPS OUT AND THE AIR CONDITIONER KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF, ALL WHILE THE CAR SOUNDS LIKE ITS ABOUT TO EXPLODE. I'VE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND COUNTLESS SITES WITH NUMEROUS OWNERS STATING THAT THEY ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. ADD ANOTHER 5000 OR SO CHARACTERS TO THIS COMPLAINT BOX AND I WILL GLADLY COPY AND PASTE THOSE OWNERS' STORIES FOR YOU TO CONSIDER AS WELL. CHEVROLET/GM SAY THAT THIS IS MY ISSUE ALONE. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL YEARS BEFORE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CAMARO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS ACTIVATED IN EXTREMELY HUMID WEATHER, THE ENTIRE FRONT EXTERIOR WINDSHIELD BECAME FOGGY DUE TO THE COLD AIR BLOWING FROM THE TOP DASHBOARD AIR VENT. THE AIR FLOW EMITTED FROM THE VENT WITHOUT THE DEFROSTER CONTROL SETTING ENGAGED. THE DEALER INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 700. .... UPDATED 10-17-13 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE ISSUE APPEARED TO BE A DEFECT IN THE DESIGNED AIR CONTROL SYSTEM. UNDER THE CURRENT OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM, WHEN IN THE AIR CONDITIONING MODE WITH BI-LEVEL, OR FOOT LEVEL SELECTED, WHETHER USING RE-CIRCULATING AIR OR FRESH AIR, THE SYSTEM DELIVERED COLD AIR TO THE WINDSHIELD THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD VENTS. THE AIR CONDITIONED AIR COMING OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD VENTS CAUSED THE WINDSHIELD TO GET COLD. IN HIGH HUMIDITY , THIS CAUSED THE WINDSHIELD TO FOG UP ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE.
